TEHRAN (INIC)- The second videoconference on Nano Symbol which was held in Iran
with the representatives of Iran, Thailand, and Taiwan in attendance,
discussed the methods to evaluate antibacterial products.

In this session, the participants expressed methods and techniques (including
devices, instructions, and protocols), the type of the bacterium used in the
tests, standards, and regulations for the admission of products in their own
countries. Dr. Ali Beitollahi, the Head of Iran's Nanotechnology
Standardization Committee, announced Iran's readiness to host a meeting of
nanotechnology products exporting countries and to develop the cooperation
between the three countries.

The discussion went on about nanometrology and related issues such as
calibration, test method, and comparing the experimental and sampling data. Dr.
Yaeo from ITRI, Taiwan, stated about his
country’s activities in nanometrology, and added, “International activities of Taiwan in nanometrology are
mainly focused on laboratorial comparison of specific cases such as dimensional
comparison of gold and silver nanoparticles.”

Then, Dr. Notapan, a member of NANOTEC and the head of Thailand Nano Symbol
Technical Committee (NanoQ), elaborated on his own country’s activities in the
field of Nano Symbol, and said, “This center calibrates the equipment twice a
year.”

He also expressed that their center has carried out activities in the field of
experimental data exchange inside and outside the country. According to him, Thailand and Taiwan cooperate in form of
carrying out common projects in the fields of calibration instructions through
Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC).

In the end of the session, Dr. Beitollahi suggested that another meeting would
be held in the near future with the participation of nanometrology experts to
hold more precise discussions.
